Amble East Cemetery

Photos I have taken on my visit to Amble East Cemetery at Easter 2010:

Plot list for Amble East Cemetery

During my Easter 2012 visit to Northumberland Archives I found a file (Misc 94) with a list of plots in Amble East Cemetery. This has proved very useful as many of the headstones are illegible or removed. The burrowing bunnies and ravaging coastal winds have taken their toll. Below is a list of the cemetery’s residents that I can claim as part of my tree:

I expect to be able to tie in quite a few more of the Hendersons and Olivers on the burial list too, but that needs more work to figure out who is who. It is also possible that several of the Buddles, Ormstons, Rutters, Smailes, Spears, Smiths, Taits/Tates and Thorntons on the list may be relatives of mine, so you can expect the above list to grow.
